[Opensim-users] Assets 101

[Robert Klein]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, I get it now! LOL, well I guess that is definitely a way to get
stuff stored in oar files, but what about grabbing freebies from the OSgrid
and importing them to a standalone? I guess that only happens when someone
uploads their oar files to Free Assets? I realize this is a simple way, just
seems like there should be a better way to export/import assets. Plus a wiki
is not really designed to be a file storage system, it does it of course but
there are better methods. Thanks for the reply Mic!
